SEV Biblia, Chapter 5:23
diciendo: Por cierto, la crcel hemos hallado cerrada con toda seguridad, y los guardas que estaban delante de las puertas; mas cuando abrimos, a nadie hallamos dentro.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Acts 5:23
Verse 23. The prison truly found we shut] All the doors were properly bolted, and the keepers at their post; but when we had opened, for it appears they were alone in possession of the keys; how much must this have increased their astonishment when they found that the doors were not broken open, the guards properly posted, and every thing as they left it, for they themselves had put the apostles in prison; but, when they had opened, there was no man within!
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 23. Saying, the prison truly found we shut with all safety , etc.] Locked, barred and bolted; and the keepers standing without before the doors ; both inner and outer in their proper places, diligently discharging their office: but when we had opened we found no man within ; that is, none of the apostles, for there might be other prisoners in it, who were not released by this means.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 17-25 - There is no prison so dark, so strong, but God can visit his people i it, and, if he pleases, fetch them out. Recoveries from sickness releases out of trouble, are granted, not that we may enjoy the comforts of life, but that God may be honoured with the services of ou life. It is not for the preachers of Christ's gospel to retire int corners, as long as they can have any opportunity of preaching in the great congregation. They must preach to the lowest, whose souls are a precious to Christ as the souls of the greatest. Speak to all, for all are concerned. Speak as those who resolve to stand to it, to live an die by it. Speak all the words of this heavenly, divine life, i comparison with which the present earthly life does not deserve the name. These words of life, which the Holy Ghost puts into your mouth The words of the gospel are the words of life; words whereby we may be saved. How wretched are those who are vexed at the success of the gospel! They cannot but see that the word and power of the Lord ar against them; and they tremble for the consequences, yet they will go on.
